  Chen Yi (Kuomintang) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chen Yi (陳儀 pinyin: Chén Yí; Wade-Giles: Ch'en I; 1883 - June 18, 1950) was the Chief Executive and Garrison Commander (警備總司令) of Taiwan after it was surrendered from Japan to Republic of China, which acts on behalf of the Allied Powers, in 1945.
In 1935, Chen was sent to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek to attend "Exposition to Commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Beginning of Administration in Taiwan," an exposition which has remained unique and unrivaled to this day, and which served as a report on the achievements of Taiwan's modernization process under Japanese rule.
Chen was later removed from the position of Taiwan governor general for his mishandling of the administration of Taiwan which resulted in the 228 Incident.
